Changemakers

After reviewing the WE teachers modules I found that the modules contain many important bits of information. There were nine modules that were created for all grade levels and mention important aspects of students like mental health, bullying, diversity, poverty, youth violence, pandemic information, anti- racism, trauma, and social/emotional learning. These modules even offered courses to create a better understanding of the issues.

I believe it is incredibly important to create a safe learning environment where students feel comfortable to learn. My definition of a safe learning environment is an environment where everyone gets along and are safe from the many issues that will make them feel uncomfortable, unwanted or afraid to be themselves. These modules offer an opportunity for educators to learn how to approach these issues and be sure that they do not become problems in the future. The module that I dove deepest into was the mental well-being module because I believe it has one of the greatest impacts on students learning. I personally understand the impact of mental health because my grades have suffered in the past due to issues outside of the classroom and I would like the opportunity to identify the students struggling so that I may make adjustments to their learning. The module was a fifty-two page pdf which covered a variety of issues concerning what to do for specific disorders, statistics about the disorders, and how the disorders affect the students.

I highly recommend that the readers of this blog give these modules a look because they contain lots of information that may be helpful in understanding and interacting with others.
